Aim Tostudytheeffectsofferulicacid (FA) on doxorubicin (DOX) induced cellular injury inH9c2ratmyocardialcells.Methods H9c2cells were treated with 1μmol·L-1 DOX treated for 24 h to establish a myocardial injury model. 10, 20, 40μmol ·L-1 FA was added 2 h before DOX treatment. Cell viability was measured by cell counter kit ( CCK-8 ) . Morphological changes were observed by phase contrast microscope. LDH, CK, MDA, SOD levels were detec-ted by biochemical kits. Intracellular level of reactive oxygen species ( ROS) was examined by DCF-DA stai-ning with flow cytometry. Cellular apoptosis was detec-ted by AO-EB staining and DNA agarose gel electro-phoresis. The expression of caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2 was evaluatedbyWesternblot.Results Exposureof H9c2 cells to DOX led to decrease in cell viability, in-crease in stress and apoptosis. FA pre-treatment im-proved cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, at-tenuated leakage of LDH and CK, and reversed mor-phological changes induced by DOX. FA suppressed DOX-induced oxidative stress as evidenced by reducing ROS and MDA generation and increasing SOD enzyme activity. FA depressed myocardial apoptosis by down-regulating pro-apoptotic protein caspase-3 and Bax, whereas up-regulating apoptosis inhibitory protein Bcl-2.Conclusions FAhasaprotectiveeffectonDOX-induced injury in H9c2 cells. This protection may re-sult from inhibition of myocardial oxidative stress and apoptosis.

AIM: To investigate antitumor effect of allotri-tridecyl diethylamine (D-108) in vivo and in vitro. METHODS: The cytotoxic effects of D-108 on various tumor cell lines, human gingival fibroblast and marrow stromal cell cultured in vitro were determined with trypan blue dye exclusion test and MTT method. The acute toxicity of mice by administration of D-108 was evaluated by Bliss method. At a tolerable dose level, D-108 was administrated to treat transplanted solid tumor U14, and tumor weight inhibition was observed. Apoptosis morphological transformation of HL 60 cell induced by D-108 was detected by the Giemsa staining. RESULTS: The cytotoxic effects in vitro of D-108 on various tumor cell lines (IC_ 50 : 0.22 to 2.19 mg?L~ -1 ) were more powerful than both human gingival fibroblast and marrow stromal cell (IC_ 50 : 5.55 and 3.57 mg?L~ -1 ). LD_ 50 of D-108 was 36.49 mg?kg~ -1 (mice, i.g.). D-108 inhibited in vivo growth of implanted solid tumor U14 of mice effectually. The inhibition rate of tumor weight of D-108 (100 mg?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 i.g.) was 45.27 %. HL 60 cell appearanced typical apoptosis morphological transformation induced by D-108. CONCLUSION: D-108 had obvious antitumor activity in vivo and in vitro and little toxicity. D-108 could induce the apoptosis of HL 60 cell.

Objective To explore the treatment method with combined dorsal flap based on the second toe and tibial flap for repairing the finger distal degloving injury.Methods From March 2008 to September 2011,our department chose treatment with combined use of free dorsal flap based on the second toe and contralateral second toe tibial flap for repairing finger distal degloving injury.The 11 fingers in 11 cases were treated and followed up after surgery.Results The flaps in 11 cases all survived; The donor site with skin grafting successfully healed; The follow-up was 4-15 months,averaged of 6 months.There was not obvious atrophy for the toe dorsal flaps in the finger back side and toe tibial flaps in the palm side.The finger pulp was full,the nails grew well and the appearance of the fingers was good.There was satisfactory sensory function restoration for finger pulp,two cases for S4,five cases for S3,three cases for S2 and 1 case for S1.The protective sensation was restored in the finger back for all the cases; the finger function was restored to normal; the foot donor site was healing well without scarring.Walking was completely normal.Conclusion It is an ideal treatment with combined use of free dorsal flap based on the second toe and contralateral second toe tibial flap for repairing finger distal.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effects of applying low abdominal superficial artery flap to repair skin and soft tissues defects in upper limbs.MethodsTotal 42 cases with soft tissues defects were recruited in this study.Seven cases were repaired using skin flaps with circumfiexa ilium superficial artery.Five cases were repaired using osteocutaneous flaps based on circumfiexa ilium superficial artery.Eleven cases were repaired using flaps with superficial epigastric artery.Seven cases were repaired using flaps with circumfiexa ilium superficial artery,lateral branches of superficial epigastric artery and musculocutaneous perforators of the fourth lumbar artery.Six cases were repaired using flaps with origin of circumfiexa ilium superficial artery,medial and lateral branch of superficial epigastric artery,and the deep and cutaneous branch of circumfiexa ilium superficial artery.ResultsAfter surgery,forty-two flaps all survived.Flaps areas were between 5 cm × 6 cm-9 cm × 30 cm.Followed up 6-24 months,the appearance,texture,color and function of flaps were recovered well and did not need to trim again.ConclusionLow abnominal superficial artery flap could be used to repair skin and soft tissues,also its texture is so thin and areas can be direct sutures,which,is an ideal method to forearm repairment.

Aim To evaluate the time-course curve of expression of TRPC1 and vascular tone of pulmonary arteries(PAs)mediated by SOCE in chronic hypoxia pulmonary hyperte-nsion rats.Methods Both tension of PA rings and expression of TRPC1 were tested in CH exposure (1 0.0 % ±0.5 %partialpressure ofoxygen ) induced pulmonary hypertensive (PH)rats,and the time-course curve(detected respectively in CH 1 ,3,5, 7,1 4,21 d)was traced.Results ①CH could up-regulate the mean right ventricular pressure(mRVSP) ,which was increased significantly on 1 d,and reached the maximum on 7d;right ventricular weight index (RV-MI)began increase on 3d,and kept rising;②semi-quantitative reverse transcription polyme-rase chain reaction (RT-PCR)was performed to detect the expression of TRPC1 in PAs.The expression of TRPC1 increased significantly on 1 d,and reached the maxi-mum on 3d;③CH could up-regulate the vascular tone of PAs mediated by SOCE,which was increased signif-icantly on 3d,and reached the maximum on 7d.Con-clusions TRPC1 /SOCE increases significantly in the early days of CH,and the time-course curve of the two has correlation,which reflects the important role of the upregulation of TRPC1 /SOCE in the process of chronic hypoxia pulmonary hypertension.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) alone or in combination for melanocytic nevus.Methods A total of 37 patients with clinically diagnosed melanocytic nevus were collected.Skin lesions were firstly examined by dermoscopy and RCM,then were resected to be subjected to histopathological examination for final diagnosis.The imaging features of melanocytic nevus were summarized.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy of different skin imaging techniques were calculated,and the consistency was analyzed between skin imaging techniques and histopathological examination.Results Based on the dermoscopic and RCM findings,2 kinds of nevus cells with different morphological features were observed in the dermis of intradermal nevus.One kind of nevus cells was characterized by a nonfusional,highly-refractive round structure in the papillary dermis under RCM,and by a brown or light brown homogenous pattern under dermoscopy,which was observed in 5 skin lesions.The other kind of nevus cells appeared as irregular,highly-refractive cell clumps in the papillary dermis under RCM,and by a cobblestone or globular pattern under dermoscopy,which was observed in 31 skin lesions.For the diagnosis of melanocytic nevus,the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of RCM combined with dermoscopy were 91.7％,87.5％,90.9％,97.1％ and 70％ respectively,those of RCM were 86.1％,75％,84％,93.9％ and 54.5％ respectively,and those of dermoscopy were 77.8％,87.5％,75％,96.3％ and 41.2％ respectively.All the diagnostic indices of RCM combined with dermoscopy were higher than those of RCM or dermoscopy alone,except that the specificity was equal to that of dermoscopy alone.RCM showed higher sensitivity,accuracy and negative predictive value,but lower specificity and positive predictive value compared with dermoscopy.There were no significant differences in the diagnostic yield in melanocytic nevus between RCM combined with dermoscopy or RCM alone and histopathological examination (x2 =0.25,0.57,P =0.63,0.45,Kappa value =0.72,0.53,respectively).However,a significant difference in the diagnostic yield in melanocytic nevus was observed between dermoscopy and histopathological examination (x2 =5.81,P =0.012).Conclusion RCM combined with dermoscopy shows higher diagnostic accuracy for melanocytic nevus compared with RCM or dermoscopy alone.

Aim To evaluate the effects of notoginsen-oside R1 on store-operated calcium entry ( SOCE ) in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells ( PASMCs ) of chronic hypoxia ( CH)-and monocrotaline ( MCT)-in-duced pulmonary hypertension ( PH) rats. Methods Mn2+ quenching of Fura-2 and measurement of intra-cellular free calcium concentration ( [ Ca2+] i ) using fluo-3 were examined in PASMCs of CH-exposed and MCT-treated rats. Results ①CH-exposed and MCT-treated rats exhibited profound PH when examined 3 weeks after hypoxia exposure or MCT injection, respec-tively. ②In the presence of 3 μmol·L-1 nifedipine, 10 μmol · L-1 notoginsenoside R1 significantly re-duced cyclopiazonic acid ( CPA )-induced the percent reduction in Fura-2 fluorescence measured 500 sec af-ter application of Mn2+, the maximal rate of Mn2+quenching, the amplitude of the Ca2+ influx transient and the resting [ Ca2+] i in PASMCs of CH-exposed and MCT-treated rats. Conclusion Notoginsenoside R1 inhibits SOCE and reduces resting [ Ca2+] i in PASMCs of CH-and MCT-induced PH rats.
